The greatest compliment that can be paid to Zak DeOssie is that he's remained mostly anonymous during his 10 seasons with the Giants. That's the ideal existence for a long snapper, who typically only draws attention when things go wrong. But DeOssie has avoided the spotlight by being a dependable snapper and strong leader in the locker room. It was a no-brainer for the Giants to bring DeOssie back this offseason on a two-year contract.

Roster status

DeOssie is the only long snapper on the roster and the Giants gave him $400,000 guaranteed in his new contract. Both of those factors signal strong job security, although long snappers can never feel totally safe. If DeOssie loses his touch this season, the Giants could move on quickly. But there are no signs that the 33-year-old is on the verge of a downward spiral.

As the only long snapper on the roster and $400,000 guaranteed in his new contract, DeOssie has strong job security. Things can change quickly for long snappers if their performance declines, but there is no reason to expect that to happen to the 33-year-old DeOssie.
